strange have for

selves, of their own accord, west of the

Misiissippi; and the tribe just named, has, since the formation ol the treaty last summer, been removing in great numbers. It is believed, that ot the Choctaws, say seventeen thousand, about five thousand have already gone, and a large portion of the residue have since been making preparations logo 'I he treaty with them is very liberal, and inothcr timc3, vou'd no doubt have been objected to, on account ot i's weight up on the treasury. Individual reservations ate guarantied to those who choose to stay, and ample provision is made for

j those who wish to go A treaty with

the Chickasaws has aso been entered into, but has not yet been submitted to the ser.ate. It is based on the condition, that exploring parties of that tribe, delcga ted to examine the country proposed to be given in exchange, ihali favorably re port. These two tribes will soon settle west of the Mississippi A part of the Creeks has already go; e, in virtue of treaties made wiih' them several years back, and the Chcrckees, the only re

maining tribe in the southern states, have also been going weatwardly for Borne time past. Those of the Cherokees already settled west of the Mississippi, are said to be in a fl.iuriihmg condition. They inhabit a delightful country, abundant in all the necessaries of li'e, and near the far famed salt region of the west The Cherokees are supposed to be in number abo it fifteen thousand and the general condition of those west, is said to be greatly superior to those east ol the river. The law of last session for the removal of the Indians, when they should be willing to go, ha3 been liberally censu red, as well as those who sustained it.And although it only appropriated half a million, it has been so often associated with wild calculations, that thousands have no doubt received the impression, that it contained the appalling sum of more than twenty millions Our own legislature had frequently approved the policy of the government, in the Indian removal question, but this was either de

nied, or admitted to refer to their removal, on principles totally different from

those of the act spoken of In the memorial of the general as

scmbly, of February, 1830 just one ear ago. there is the following ian !

guage : " lo endeavor to avert from the Potlawa'amies and Miamies the fate which hi,s attended many of their kindred tribes, is a doty sanctioned by a regard for hc national reputation, and by every humane and philanthropic consideration "As the best means of accomplishing so desirable a result, and securing the happiness ot the aboriginal race, your memorialists respectfully and earnestly urge the adoption oF measures to induce

the Indians within the stale to abandon, from choice, those narrow forests where they now acquire but a precarious 3nd scanty subsistence, and to emigrate to the country west of the Mississippi, which is much better adapted to their

wants and to their habits. 'The benevolent and patriotic views and recommendations of the pt est If nt of the United States on this subject, of which they tender their coidial approbation, render it unnecessary for our memorialists to offer arguments in detail " It has been a fit subject for political excitement, in which politicians led the

van, while an array of the besr men, arid

have btcn loaded with petitions and re monstrances, protesting against the law, and requesting its r peal, denouncing the treaty, and petitioning the senate that it might not be ratifies; when if this law h3d been repealed, and the treaty rejected, starvation inevitably awaited the

Indians. So general has been the wish, and ho loudly expressed on the part of this tribe, that the treaty should be rati fied, that party Iceling in a great measure gave way, and the journal ot the senate, shew but twelve votes in the negative Humanit'. demanded the tatifi cation, and will rejoice at the result II the laws of Georgia and some of the o-

this subject; but a difficulty now exists, ami it stems better to settle the difcully, by r lie removal of the Indians, with their consent, than by arraying the power of the federal government against that of the states. It is said that the

United Stat s have to be enforced, at the sam time, in several ot the states by the military arm of the government, then farewell to the Union. This is a crisis which has never arisen in the go

POLAND The accounts ti om v arsaw are to the 2 1st January They announce the resig nation of the dictator ; but it does not appear that this event is calculated to dispirit the Poles; on the contrary, there was reason to believe that he was becoming unpopular, from an impres sion th-i he was in the interest of the emperor the chances of accommoda

tion between whom and his la'e subjects,

are very much diminished. Theempe

ror, it is said, has detained the members of the Polish deputation, and has made

them prisoners in his palace. The know

ledge ol this fact will no serve his cause in Poland. The Courier fears that the

Poles are ill provided for the coming

contest; but if the national enthusiasm be so great aa pretended, the emperor

may find cause to regret his violence

something may happen elsewhere to fa

The writer ?ays the French are tome

what at a loss what to do with Algiers;

they do not occupy one foot cf territory

beyond theieach of their shot; but they are making preparations to keep pos

session ot what they have get, and talk of extending their conquest in the spring; but it is believed they will not

be able to accomplish their object The expedition has already cost France more than she found in the treasury at Al

giers.

They are about forming what they

call an agricultural society, and r (Ter to

make large grants in the inteiior of the

regoncv to such as are deposed to settle

pose a barrier of armed peasant y be

tween lu French troops and the Arabs,

pary somewhat similar, to ihc British East India Company, to occupy the east

ern part of the regency.

The Nw Y k Daily Advertiser has

been furnished with the loliowing ex tract of a letter from Paris, Jan. 3 1st :

"It appears to be the opinion at pres ent, that the duke de Nemours, as the second son of Louis Phillippe, will be chosen king ot I3tigium; and after it has taken place, if Great Britain does not oppose it stienuously, I have no doubt it will have effect. John Bull is likely to be propitiated by making Antwerp a free port. "Impressions are that there will be no war : but all this depends upon so many contingencies, that it would not surprise

me at any tin e 10 learn the contrary.

A letter from a gentleman in Paris to a friend in Philadelphia, dated the 1st of

Feb. says, " 1 he great news of to day is, that the Duke ol Nemours, second son of the Ktngot France, has been chosen

King ot Bcigium; and this, it is believ

ed, will cause a war It i, not yet known

what England will do; but it is certain that she is arming ships of war. In

Fiance the troops are all marching All tnose of Paris and its neighborhood are

to Bet off in two days; so that we shall

The decision of the kinf cf the Neth

the parties immediately interested 1 he house of representatives of the state

of Maine, went suddenly into secret session on. Monday last, on motion of Mr I)e3ne The prcceedings in this scs sion which are supp sed to relate to the

It doubts ot a dreadful convulsion hitherto existed, they are now dissipated. The crisis in the aff-ir ot Europe rr.av be considered as alreac'v come. A general war is certain and inevitable -If credit can be given to the reports current in Paris, the fearful struggle en the plains of Poland has commenced the sword is eve r now drawn when it will be sheathed, or under what circumstances, none can tell. Wc have said that a general war is in

evitable; and a glance at the position in

which the affairs of Europe at present stand, will be sufficient to bear usonl in the opinion. The manifesto of the em

peror Nicholas is decisive of whalaro

the designs ot Russia: its despotic nature is, it possible, surpassed by the finished mcckcry in which the Poles &rt re

minded ot the 'peace and piesperny"

they have enjoyed undei the wi.y of

Russia ! Submission unqualified submitsion is the command to the P ies. Clemency is promised, to be sure but it is such clemency as the tiger wculd extend to his victim The Poles, therefore, know what they have to expect They know it by the answer of their envoys by the language of the manifesto and more than all, they know it, al3s ! by cruel experience. It, therefore, patriotism bt not entirely extinct, the whole nation will tise esone manEven self interest common policywill impart one feeling and one common cause to every inhabitant of what once was Poland. Austria foresees this result, and, it is said, is determined to overcome her dis ikt- of Russia, and unite her armies with those of the Autocrat in suppo't cf their cherished docrnr.es of despotism ai d coi quest. Let this occur, and 'he principle cf non intervention is a dead letter France, prepared at every point, and burr ing for the encounter, will gladly fiail the opportunity afforded to her of succouring the oppressed, and signaliz'r g herscltin tho cause of freedom Nation after nation will be drawn into the contest ; and over the vast continent of Eu ope. there will resound one loud and universal cry cf ,4war I" Can England, in such an event remain a spectator ?
